About Jamie
She has worked in private practice and in programs serving pregnant and homeless women, providing individual and group therapy for people facing substance use, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, and codependency. Jamie also provided counseling in a school-based MediCal-funded program, collaborating with school staff and community agencies on case management, crisis support, and medication monitoring.
Jamie commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, and she uses solution-focused strategies to set practical goals in the present. She also draws on attachment, existential, and mindfulness approaches to reduce symptoms and strengthen self-esteem.
Her background includes trainings in a range of topics related to trauma, eating disorders, and crisis intervention, and she holds a certification in marital and premarital work through Prepare and Enrich. Jamie is also managing a recent diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes and studies chronic disease to better support people facing long-term health challenges.
Outside of work she enjoys running, rock climbing, and reading, and she is a parent who understands the demands of balancing family life with personal needs. She offers a collaborative, grounded style aimed at helping people move toward clearer choices and greater resilience.
How Jamie’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Jamie often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to practice new ways of responding. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and testing small changes.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships. This can help with intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and family-of-origin concerns by identifying patterns and trying different ways of connecting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jamie will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made and needs change.
